The beginning of the industrial revolution The Industrial Revolution was a period from the 18th to the 19th century where major changes in agriculture, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and technology had a profound effect on the social, economic and cultural conditions of the times. It began in Britain, then subsequently spread throughout Western Europe, North America, Japan, and eventually the world

Why it started in Britain Population increases Didn’t participate in wars Banking System Overseas trade Parliament passed laws

Why it began The Industrial Revolution started in Britain because their conditions helped a lot at that time. Also its natural resources also impacted the Revolution.

Economy Families were small Families were poor Relied on farming 25% or Europeans lived in towns or cities Most live in country villages only a few hundred people People also worked in coal, glass, Iron, or clothing

Interchangeable Parts,! Interchangeable parts are parts that are, for practical purposes, identical. They are made to specifications that ensure that they are so nearly identical that they will fit into any device of the same type. One such part can freely replace another, without any custom fitting (such as filing). This interchangeability allows easy assembly of new devices, and easier repair of existing devices, while minimizing both the time and skill required of the person doing the assembly or repair.

Steam engine. the steam engine developed by James Watt. The steam engine allowed the transformation of fuel into mechanical work. In a steam engine, fuel (usually wood or coal at this time) is burned; the heat that this fuel produces is used to turn water into steam; this steam is used to drive wheels in the engine. Steam engines were first used in coal and ore mines to pump water out of them. After James Watt improved the design of the steam engine, this type of engine quickly was applied to other industries--to power railroad locomotives, ships, and later the first automobiles.

The spinning jenny In 1764, a British carpenter and weaver named James Hargreaves invented an improved spinning jenny, a hand-powered multiple spinning machine that was the first machine to improve upon the spinning wheel by making it possible to spin more than one ball of yarn or thread. Spinner machines like the spinning wheel and the spinning jenny made the threads and yarns used by weavers in their looms. As weaving looms became faster, inventors had to find ways for spinners to keep up.

Power loom The power loom was a steam-powered, mechanically operated version of a regular loom, an invention that combined threads to make cloth. In 1785, Edmund Cartwright patented the first power loom and set up a factory in Don caster, England to manufacture cloth.

Seed drill The seed drill, which he invented in 1701, allowed the farmers to sow seeds in well-spaced rows at specific depths. When his invention was used, a larger share of the seed germinated. As a result, crop yields increased even more.

End of the industrial revolution The Industrial Revolution ended because the number of people with "blue-collar" jobs (jobs involving working in offices) had exceeded the number of people with "white collar" jobs (jobs like construction working that were more physical.) This started the Information Age, the age of "transferring data through different types of technology." This is the age we are in now.
